Notes:@ Wizards G Dee Brown, who helped lead Illinois to the 2005 NCAA national championship game, played just hours after Illinois beat Georgia 76-42 at the United Center. Brown did not attend the game. ... Two former high first-round picks for the Bulls got little action. Joakim Noah did not play, and Tyrus Thomas only played 6 minutes and failed to score.
